Foster Electricity Markets
In working to Foster Electricity Markets, PowerGEM has...
-
Developed software used by the NYISO market monitoring unit (MMU) to analyze market performance and detect gaming in congested networks.
-
Developed software to simulate portfolio, day-ahead and real time market performance in transmission constrained markets (PROBE), including high performance security constrained unit commitment.
-
Developed software to identify limiting flowgates (monitored element/contingency pairs) for all generator dispatch combinations (TARA). This technique is useful for market design and handling of seams issues between market areas.
-
Developed software to calculate available transmission or flowgate capability (ATC/AFC) in long term (1 year to 1 week) and short term (1 week) for PJM, TVA, and SPP. These calculations are based on daily network model updates (SDX files) and consider contingency constraints over a wide area of the United States Eastern Interconnection.
-
Led and participated in PJM and NYISO committees that established generator interconnection procedures, connection cost allocation procedures and capacity deliverability tests.
-
Provided technical support of must-run generation requirements and mitigation negotiations.
-
Performed economic analysis of transmission expansion options in PJM and New York.
